As a special treat, Michael and Phillip McEwen of Soda Springs, Idaho, brought several of their dogs and sleds to show the students how the sport works. Students learned about the dogs and how they are trained, as well as the equipment needed to compete. Two students from each grade were selected to drive the dog sled while their classmates cheered them on. Special thanks to Michael and Phillip for this great opportunity for students at Cokeville Elementary.
